vs.

12

DIRECTOR OF CORRECTIONS, et al.,

Defendants.

ORDER
/

15

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel and in forma pauperis in an action

16

brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. On April 24, 2013, plaintiff filed a motion to compel discovery

17

on the ground that defendants had not yet responded to his discovery request. Dckt. No. 21. On

18

April 29, 2013, however, the court granted the parties additional time to conduct discovery by

19

extending the discovery deadline to July 23, 2013. In a declaration filed in response to plaintiff’s

20

motion to compel, defense counsel indicates she will respond on behalf of defendants to

21

plaintiff’s discovery request by May 24, 2013. Dckt. No. 23. Given the procedural history and

22

the representation of defense counsel, plaintiff’s motion to compel appears to be moot.

23

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiff’s motion to compel (Dckt. No.

24

21) is denied.

25

Dated: May 20, 2013.
